[CNX-Software] - Altera Agilex 27 FPGA & SoC family features up to 17.6M logic elements, Cortex-A720/A-520 cores, 256 Gbps SerDes, PCIe 7.0

Altera has introduced the Agilex 27 FPGA and SoC family designed for AI infrastructure, high-speed networking, 6G and satellite communications, and aerospace and defense applications. The family includes 14 device models, each available as either an FPGA-only device or an FPGA SoC with integrated Arm processors The new devices rely on Altera’s third-generation HyperFlex architecture, which the company claims delivers 1.8 times the performance per Watt compared to the previous-generation Agilex 7 FPGAs. Other features include up to 17.6 million logic elements, second-generation AI Tensor DSP blocks, an Arm Cortex-A720/A520 processor subsystem in the SoC FPGA variants, 256 Gbps transceivers, PCIe 7.0, 1.6TbE Ethernet, and LPDDR6 memory support. Altera Agilex 27 FPGA and SoC family specifications: FPGA architecture – 3rd-generation HyperFlex architecture with enhanced adaptive logic modules (ALMs) 866K to 17.6 million logic elements (LEs) 274,190 to 5,683,872 ALMs Up to 1.8× better performance per watt compared to the previous-generation [...]
